Beetroot Red Velvet Self-Saucing Pudding

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place white sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl, then sift in plain flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.

Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Create a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk, vegetable oil and food colouring. Bring ingredients together with a spatula until your cake batter is an even colour and texture.

Scrape the cake batter out into your pre-prepared pie dish and use your spatula to gently press the batter out the edges and smooth it over evenly.

Combine brown sugar and Spiced Beetroot Mix in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk until evenly combined.

Sprinkle the entire beetroot mixture evenly over the surface of your cake batter.

Boil the kettle, then take a large dessert spoon, turn it upside down and slowly pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over the beetroot mix.

Move to the oven to bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until your cake is dry and spongy all the way to the centre.

Serve warm with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and a scoop of ice-cream

DAYNA'S TOP TIPS FOR MASTERING THIS BAKE

#1) It’s important to slowly pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon to ensure it lands on the pudding gently and sits on top of the batter. As the pudding cooks, the sauce will start to sink.

#2) That's it, seriously it's an easy recipe!

Again, huge thanks to Dayna and Hoskins Hens for putting this one together! Get on it and give it a go for yourself - we'd love to see how it goes and what you think of it!
